So what do you want to know about a weirdo like me.

Firstly I'm weird.
I didn't decide this, people
keep telling me I'm weird. 
I've given up arguing with them about
 this fact, I thought I was pretty normal.
Ok so I have this problem with reality.
 I look out the front door every now and
then to check that 'outside' still exists.
I sometimes wonder if it will
stop being there while I'm in it!
Ok so now I suppose that sounds weird
but it makes perfect sense to me.
You can't prove the outside is there
while you aren't looking at it can you?
 
THINK about it!

Sometimes I actually smile!

 

What!
You want to know more?
Good Grief!!!
Ok here's a short-ish biography.
I'm 37
Left handed.
Weigh just under 8 stone.
Have two eyes, kind of green but they go
brown when I am sad.
I have two ears as well, one on either side
of my head!!!
Weird huh!?
 
I'm a single mum, I got married in 1988 seperated
1999, he didn't like me doing anything artistic or
musical because my JOB was to do housework
and nothing else.
If he didn't like the music I was playing he would
turn it off and sometimes he would hide the CD.
It got to the point where I couldn't even laugh when
he was in the house because he didn't like my laugh.
In the end I just stopped laughing.
I had to start all over again in 1999 when I finally plucked
up the courage to kick him out!
 
I stashed my guitar over at my mother's house for a
while and because of this I kind of forgot how to
play it properly.
I got a new guitar in 2000 but kept the old one and
re-strung it back to right handed so my brother
Paolo could jam with me!
 
He suddenly got good at guitar and started his
own band. I got better at the guitar but then
stopped for a while and turned into a net nerd.
 
In 2001 he nagged me to pick it back up.
He would play his guitar, I would sing along, great fun.
I picked it back up again but felt more comfortable on
the keyboards even though I was pants at it!
 
2002 My brother got engaged and then sadly,
nine days later he died.
He was just 20 years old.
 
It was him that always told me I could be so much
more if I just stopped worrying about failure.
"Failure is just the flat part to the next step."  
Yes he was as weird as me.
I miss him terribly and I know it is him that drives
me to keep playing my guitars.
Now I'm doing so many different things,
I wish he could see it!
 
My artwork alone got me a place in college.
I've passed that course and now have a diploma
in Art and Design.
I'm in the middle of a Foundation Degree course
in Technical Practice in the Visual Arts.
I've had poetry published in anthologies.
I write songs about the world and have over 40 songs
waiting to be recorded.
I'm writing two books, (yes two) 
I designed and hand stitched a top for my late
brother's fiancee. Half of it was velvet the other
parts were spider mesh gauze.
I make my own clothes every now and then,
because being so short, everything in the shops is
made for giraffes!
I don't use a sewing machine as I believe them to be
the evil minions of a Goblin King called Knackeritt!
Not much scares me except large bodies of water and
because of this, I always make sure when I move
house, it's to a house on the top of a hill so I won't
drown in a flood.
I can't swim!
 
My son and I have two cats, one male,
one female, Spike and Crystal. Both mad!
I can't drive but I can ride a horse.
I can't speak any French but I can speak some Italian,
(mostly the insults and swearwords)
My Father is from Sicily.
I can ride a bike but I own a Pashley tricycle!
I bought my first electric guitar in May 2004
and it's my baby!!
A left handed, Yamaha, Pacifica.
All I need now is a big amp!
My son is 13 and has his own band, I bought
him a drum kit as an early Christmas present in 2004.
It's a nice Wine red Mapex kit.
I finished paying for it in May 2006!!
 
Important Update!
 
I met a lovely man who makes me very happy.
His name is Marcus and we're very much in love.
We have so much in common and we even
have the same quirky humour.

If you see me smiling, PANIC!!
I'm probably plotting some evil deed!

See, I do smile!
Only because I'm up to something though!
Hehehehe RUN!!!

This is a Tortex, harder to swallow than a Dunlop!
 
 
I've done some exciting stuff in my 36 years.
Well it was exciting for me, other people
might think it's boring but that's just how it is!
Here's the list, in no particular order.
 
Dog racing! (hey it was exciting coz I won)
Horse riding.
Steered my Grandad's boat all the way to the Thames.
Drove a boat all the way around the Norfolk broads.
Went to Knebworth 1990 Silver Clef award winners concert.
Streaked wearing only a live chicken.
Went full speed down a hill on a Go-Kart with no brakes!
Tabbogganed down the highest hill in Strood!
Climbed the biggest tree in Strood and fell out of it!
Went on the Pepsi Max in Blackpool.
Went on the Nemesis!
Went on the Oblivion.
Went on the Detonator but didn't like it!
Went on the Collossus.
Won a karaoke competition with my version of
Patsy Cline's 'Crazy.'
I helped run my dad's discos when I was just 12.
Performed in plays, musicals and concerts between the
ages of 14 and 17. Joined a band at 17, left when I was 18.
At 16 went Rock climbing, Absailing, Orienteering,
Canoeing, Search and rescue simulation and the
obstacle course that made the one on the Krypton
Factor look like Charlie Chalks adventure playground!
We also had to make a raft, get to the other side of a
lake, where the rest of the team had to then swap places
with us and paddle back. Ours was the only raft that didn't
sink until everyone was back on land!
I once rung up Ceaser the Boogie man.
(He was a radio DJ with a bald head) 
 (Can't remember what I said to him I was drunk)
More to come.........

My pet hates!
 
Plebs, that's people who think they're all
that and are talking sh#t!
 
Chavs, (and anyone else who says "innit")
 
Girls that look about 12 in the moshpit that
whip off their tops, put it away and wait till
you got something to get out!
 
Hair dyes that don't do what they say on
the box!
 
Lightbulbs that explode!
 
The "C" word! Anyone that says the word
near me, expect a smack up the back of
the head, I have no control over my hand
it just reaches out and slaps!!!!
 
Gravity pisses me off!
There should be a way to switch it off
sometimes!!!
 
People who don't clean up after their dog.
 
Treading in it!!!
 
The plastic wrapping on video tapes!
 
More WILL be added!
 

I heard a rumour about me once, it was so exciting I wondered why I hadn't actually done it.
 
I'm allergic to coffee, in the same way a person is allergic to nuts.
Strange thing is I can eat nuts! I'm allergic to the coffee beans and it's all panic here if I eat a coffee creme in the chocolate selection.
They put warnings for nuts on food but no warnings for coffee.
So I'm now living on noodles and pasta!!!
I'm nearly 5 feet tall, I used to be 5 feet and 2 inches but I'm shrinking.
I stopped growing at the age of 12 which was really annoying because my mother had bought me a lot of clothes "to grow into!"

There once lived a girl,
who's smile ran away,
She searched for it everywhere,
Forever and a day!

I have arthritis in my lower spine
and legs. It seems to come and
go which I think is weird but that's
what the Dr has said it is.
There are days when I can't walk
at all, then I get days where I can
jump around to my fave band on
the CD player (getting injured in
the process)!
I don't let it stop me!
 
I'm accident prone!
 
List of accidents:
 
Shut my toes in the drawer.
 
Got picked up and thrown in the moshpit.
 
Rik Waller trod on me in the Manor!
(the fat b#st#rd!)
 
Fell off my shopping trolley and broke
my chin!
 
Dropped a ladder on my head.
 
Got hit in the face with a kite.
 
Fell in my mother's pond!
Fell in my mother-in-laws pond!
 
Got so drunk once I fell in a ditch
and couldn't get out till the morning!
 
A huge lad at the moshpit fell on
me, it was like being sat on by
an elephant. 
 
Same big guy who fell on me,
stepped back and whacked me
into a wall, I got concussion from
that! I wondered why all these
people were in my house!!!
 
Got a fist in the face from a
Matt Bellamy look-a-like at
the Manor, I was spinning round,
he was holding a bottle of beer,
his fist was stationary but I wasn't!
I got a hug out of it even though
my face was level with his belly
button! He seemed genuinely
worried. Pity he stank of sweat!
 
Got kicked in the back of the
head with a steel toe capped
platform boot, in the Indie room
of the club, by a girl dancing on
a podium. I went flying across
the floor, mobile phone went
flying too. She then tried to help
me up by grabbing my arm and
pulling me up while standing on
my hair! OUCH!
She didn't know, bless.
 
Got smacked into by a guy in
the moshpit, splitting open my
bottom lip, I went over backwards
and hit my head on the bar.
I saw blackness for about 3 seconds. 
 
Got hit in the face with a fire
door, two pillocks ran towards
the door and rammed into it
just as I was on the other side!
I had a bruise on my face for ages.
 
I fell into my bath when I was
standing on the edge of it and
nearly broke my arm!
 
Lost my footing walking back
from college and went rolling
down the hill!
 
Got blown over by the wind and
fell on my arse!
 
Fell out of a taxi.........make that
quite a few taxis!
 
Fell out of my best friend's car!
 
Swallowed my plectrum, I now
have to have a scan to see what
damage it may be causing as it
hasn't come out the other end yet!
EDIT: Plectrum has now made it's
own way out after floating about
for almost three years!
 
I fell asleep with my guitar on my
bed, leaning against the headboard.
It fell over in the night and smacked
me on the head just behind my ear!
 
Fell asleep with my easel on my
bed, I rolled over in the night,
headbutted it, poked myself in the
eye and got a splinter in my eyebrow.
 
Was pogoing to System of a Down
in my kitchen, lost my footing and
fell in my dustbin!
 
Fell over at my friend's house trying
to run away from an exploding firework!
(2004)
 
Came running in from the garden
to answer the phone, slipped on
the kitchen floor and nearly broke
my hip.
Bloody phone stopped ringing before
I got to it as well!! (how annoying)
 
Was on webcam to my pal, I was
being a loonatic as usual trying to
make her laugh, had sat sideways
on the chair without realising and
leant back, fell off the chair
backwards with my feet in the air!
She saw the whole thing on camera!!!
 
I've technically been hit by a train!
Some doofas opened a swing door
on the train as it was coming into
the station, I was standing too close
to the edge of the platform and got
whacked sideways across the floor.
I ended up with a huge bruise all
down one side of my body and my
suitcase burst open!
 
Was messing about with a
micro-phone and managed to whack
myself in the mouth with it.
Made my lip bleed but not too bad.
Then dropped the micro-phone
on my toe!
 
Stepped on my own trouser
leg and fell over.
 
Just recently, was re-stringing a
guitar and nearly lost an eye!
Bloody accoustics!
 
Art related injury; poked myself in
the eye with a paintbrush!
 
NEW INJURIES!
Fell over carrying an A1 size sheet
of foamboard across the bridge in
a high wind!
 
Had a door swing back and hit me in
the face TWICE on the same night
at the Tap'n' Tin.
 
Got my hands crushed under a
cupboard which prevented me from
playing guitar for at least three
hours (nightmare)!
 
Had a practice amp dropped on
my legs.
 
Had a bass guitar hit me really
hard on the top of my head when
the doofahs playing jumped down
from the stage into the crowd.
 
Had a taylors dummy dropped
on my foot at college.
 
Fell of a table at college because
I stepped straight out into mid air,
thinking the table was longer than
it was!
 
Stabbed the roof of my mouth
because I was daft enough to
put a pen in my mouth, forgot
it was there, then went to brush
my hair from my face  and
shoved the pen upwards.
 
Got very squashed on the top
floor of the Tap 'n' Tin and hurt
my knee trying to escape the
insanity of it all!
 
AND YET AFTER ALL THIS
 I STILL LIVE !!!!
HAHAHA

It's all just a bit of fun!
